It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Jaime.
I suppose we could really meet without bringing ropework into it immediately, if we wanted. I always appreciate anyone who appreciates fashion.
And it's a good practices.

From:

(from here)

[Oh. Hah. Well.]

Oh that's optional and removable, it doesn't matter. The tail can tie on.

[Interpret that as you will! Or not.]

I know I don't have to. It was just a thought. But you would look cute and it might help. I doubt you'd want to take that potion again.

From:

[Jon's trying to fathom the purpose of the peg. Maybe something to tie to if you want thing to hang a little looser? He lets it go as Peter moves on and uses a particular word.]

No.
I don't think using that particular potion would be wise.
And I think you mean 'elegant.'
I'm not cute.

From:

I'd be delighted to meet.
I live in the Up, would you care to get coffee or tea together?

_{[What should she get him to do for her to make it up to her? Just a simple dinner or buying her a dress won't really cut it.]}

how good are you at doing chores

From:

(from here)

Ah, well, that answers my question.
Every few months our gracious hosts see fit to help us with our contracts by posting profiles of all the participants in their experiment. They tend to be a bit personal and a bit ridiculous.

From:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are occasionally cute.

From:

[Jon's cheeks burn.]

You're cute.

[So! There!]

From:

That sounds wonderful. When are you free?
I'm in the Up as well.

From:

[That is a very leading question but Peter had promised and he feels too awful, especially speaking with her now, to try and negotiate.]

I've never been hired as a housekeeper or anything like that. But I can do them.
Except cooking. I don't know how to cook.

From:

colorature

alright then
you can clean and tidy my cottage then
for a month
you can also take me out to dinner tonight
and for ice cream

From:

I'm free now, if you are.
I usually only work in the evenings.

From:

Yes, I am. It's kind of you to notice. Thank you.

[Was that supposed to be an insult, Jon.]

From:

[A month. Peter's better sense wars against his intense guilt and loses.]

Alright. A month then.

Wouldn't you rather I pay for you to have a meal with someone of your choice? I can't imagine seeing my face would improve your appetite.

[And, truthfully....he doesn't want to have dinner with her. It seems like an unpleasant way to spend his evening.]

From:

[Ugh!]

God, you're annoying!

From:

Give me an hour and I'll be available.
Do you have a particular cafe you like?

From:

Honestea is one of my favorites. Meet you there in an hour or so?

From:

And yet you like me anyway. How curious.

[:3]

From:

I'm very seriously reconsidering sanity on that point.

That does not sound pleasant at all. I can honestly say that is not something I'm very much looking for.

How long have you been here?

From:

colorature

i hope you like to dust
hmmm...fine
you can pay for a romantic dinner for myself and my boyfriend
it wont be cheap either

From:

That sounds wonderful.

[So, roughly an hour later Peter arrives at Honestea. He never did ask...anything about Jamie beyond his name - in fact, he does not know if it is in fact "his" name - so he pauses for a moment in the doorway to look around and to make himself visible to anyone who might be on the lookout for him.

If he's not hailed - if he happens to have arrived first - he'll take a table within sight of the door and face it so that it won't be difficult for Jaime to find him once he turns up.]

From:

[Jamie watches the door, realizing he probably should have asked more about Morrigan than he did. He looked up the picture on the network, though, and that gives him something to work with as he hurries into Honestea a little later than he intended.

He spots who he's pretty sure he's looking for and flashes an apologetic smile as he sweeps his way across the room to the table.]

Sorry I'm late, I got caught up leaving the house.

[Had to look just right if he's meeting someone for the first time.]

From:

It certainly can be unpleasant. The extent of the unpleasantness seems to vary. Though on the whole I've found peoples' reactions to be understanding.

Just shy of two years.

[It has been. Too long.]
